Hello, I’m new here and I need your help with my Switch OLED
The USB-C port on my Switch was defective, as was the docking port and the USB-C port on the docking station circuit board
After I replaced the USB-C port on the Switch, it turned on again and can be charged with 15V.
I also had to replace the spring-loaded USB-C connector in the docking station because the pins were broken
And then I had a short on the docking station circuit board, I desoldered the USB-C port and the short was gone.
Unfortunately I didn’t have an original Nintendo USB-C connector. But I had one from the PS5 Dual Sense controller, which looked very similar. But unfortunately the docking station still doesn’t work.
Unfortunately I can’t find any schematics of the PCB anywhere.
If I use the original power supply, I can’t measure any voltages with the breakout board. If I use a normal USB charger then I have the VCC on A2 and A11. Shouldn’t this also be on A4 and A9?
Can it really be that the USB-C connector on the PS5 controller is simply the wrong one?
I hope someone can help me here, I don’t know what to do anymore
If your new dualsense port is working replacement port for the controller, you wont able to use that on any other device. Dualsense has a different pinout compared to Standard 16or 14 pin type-C port. You would understand what I meant if you have a type-c breakout board to test around.
Hello and thank you for your answer. The DualSense USB-C port has the same number of pins. That’s why I tried my luck. I didn’t know that there were still differences. I only got the breakout board a few days later. Tomorrow I’ll desolder the USB-C port again and then I’ll have to see if I can get the right one somewhere. Unfortunately, these are very difficult to get hold of. Because it has to be a special one for the docking station. Or can you tell me a good and correct alternative USB-C port?
now I understand the arrangement. It can’t work like that. Hopefully nothing broke. I would order this USB-C port. This should be the right one, right? Just to be on the safe side, ask again
Unfortunately I can’t insert a link, here is the picture
the standing leg seems a bit narrower than original port, but should still work if you could do some grinding to press fit the 4 legs into the pcb I believe
The USB-C port on the Switch has a 24 pin, the one on the docking station doesn’t have as many pins. I showed a picture above. The one on the left is the one I desoldered
Hello, I got the new USB-C port today. Unfortunately the docking station still doesn’t work.
I checked the contacts with the breakout board. And it all fits so far. Do you have an idea what I should look for?
Can you actually rule out that the error is in the Switch console itself?
But I’ll measure the old port right away. I’ll report back…
I have now ordered the 16 pin. Then I’m curious to see if everything will work in the end
